Critics Consensus

Although it wastes some of the potential of its premise, Project Power is a slick, fun action thriller - and features a star-making turn from Dominique Fishback.

1.5/4

As it is, this is a bloated movie that starts decently and loses it within 20 minutes...

Project Power's veins may run thick with pure hokum. But it's hard to object to a film this serious about being silly.

3/5

A Dominque Fishback showcase. She's the beating heart of a film that merely coasts on the entertainment value of its high concept.

A huge issue this movie had was balancing screen time for all three of our [lead] actors.

While there are a few superhero stories on screen that haven’t shied away from the issue of medical experimentation, none have tackled the idea with such an eye toward truth as Project Power.

7/10

Consumers of Power celebrate the feeling the drug brings but only few times demonstrate the dangers that come with addiction. In the end, this film is about humans and their inherent desire to fulfill their potential.

I really don't get the bad reviews on this movie, it was honestly way better than any of the trash DC puts out. Jamie Foxx was amazing as always, Joseph Gordon Levitt was killing it, the main girl was tragically likable. I guess people don't like how it turns out kinda wholesome, after setting up a real Crash vibe. I loved that it turned out wholesome, genuinely. These people are realistically morally grey and occasionally buttass stupid but they still deserve nice things, why can't you let them have nice things.

Starts off good, somehow with a totally bitchin cast this super cool premise ends up coasting. Dominique Fishback shines.

I don't understand how this movie has got 60% rating. Senseless story, senseless script. Movie based on a power guarded capsule that one could be like HULK man eat this ... and nothing more. very bogus
